Hauppauge HVR-2200 - What a fantastic PCIe Dual Digital TV Tuner

Finally, a tuner card that works goddammit.

Anyone with a Dvico card should get rid of it and get one of these babies.
Anyone experiencing problems with their current brand card should also get rid of it and get one too.

Yep, Its that good...

Here, its not just my opinion, this is what 2 other reviews said -

Its OEM, so that packaging isn't nice and colourful. But that only means you get more bang for your buck with out paying for the pretty box. And it has no remote, but hey, I have a M$ remote anyway. Again, they can spend that money on the Tuner card, I don't mind, thats what I paid for.

An 8MB VISTA driver download (this card is actually designed to run... properly... in Vista MCE) and 15 seconds later its up and running.
Not a signal issue, stutter issue, channel 9 white screen issue (thanks Dvico) to be seen.
Channel changing is truly lightning fast (when I read that on a review somewhere, I thought, yea right).

If anyone whats to ask any questions, or has anything to add, please post.
